Hey all, I noticed that in past years, immunology was lasted as a category in the Life Sciences subfield, but it's not anymore. I know the NSF doesn't focus on medically-relevant science, but does anyone know how much of a disadvantage this will give me? I put together an immunology-based proposal, but I'm wondering if it's worth it to stay up the next few nights to work on a microbio proposal. Any advice/knowledge would be appreciated! Thank you.

I 100% agree. My GPA was absolutely horrendous (sub 3.0). Though I explained this in my personal statement, the interview was essential in showing admissions that I was knowledgeable about my science and excited about research.

I'm waiting on post-interview notification from NYU Sackler. Someone already got an acceptance!

I'll see you guys there

Does anyone know when Cornell and Columbia will send out their immunology/microbiology invites? Is UPenn all done? And when is the next slew of Albert Einstein invites?

I 100% believe you, but how do you know that Mt. Sinai is done? Why are you breaking my heart </3 lol And yeah...I'm waiting on UPenn as well, though I knew it was a long shot.

Thank you! the 26th is also an option.

Just got invited to interview at NYU on Jan. 12th

I'm so jealous of all of you, but congratulations! Does anyone know if Penn will continue sending out MVP invites this week or is today the day? Thanks a bunch. I've been obsessively stalking this thread and finally decided to join in.
